Siswanto Coming

It is Monday. In the morning I went to the Poncol Station to fetch Siswanto. He was in the Tawang Jaya Coaches scheduled to arrive at 06:00. The train was late 30 minutes. As his request I dropped him to the Serrata Hotel to join his colleagues.

At arriving at home I washed my clothes. The weather forecast said that today would be cloudy and rainy. However, I still do it because my clothes stock was running out. As a matter of fact the day was encouraging, the sun was shinny for a while, and adequate to dry the clothes. After dhuhur time I ironed them.

Gathering

It was Saturday. The Red-9 Saturday-9 (Sabtu Pahing 18). In the whole day it was rainy. Bibik washed Ailin and Dastan clothes but she did not find sun ray for drying them. The day was relatively cold but humid.

At 06:00 I and Nuri went to the Wujil Resort in Ungaran area to join qigong gathering. It was to celebrate Cap Go Meh (the Indonesian name for Yuan Xiao Jie 元宵节), the night 15th of the first month in the Chinese calender. It is also popular as the Lantern 🏮 Festival. The festival ends the new Chinese year celebration. There were about 20 people gathered at a banquet in the dining hall. We had a cap go meh dinner. A dish named lontong cap go meh was served. Lontong is a kind of rice, steamed in banana leaf wrap. It served with a Javanese style chicken curry named opor. After having socializing for a while we moved to another room for practicing qigong.

About 15 people joined to practice qigong, such as Tan Tjietheng (陈志定), Liauw Moylin (Melani 廖梅兰), Liauw Sioeling 廖秀玲, Meixia 胡美霞, Andreas Andhy Widjaja, Hwayung 华永, Ci-kwan (机关), Alawi, and Maria (Lim Tian Bwee 林展梅). We practiced chenqi, pengqi guanding, and sanxin zhuang. About 90 minutes we spent time. I thought the practice was seemed lighter than that as usual we have in the temple hall. The laoshi explained that because of our qi had accumulated due to our gathering. After concluding we were back to the dining hall for continuing our socializing.

We were socializing during enjoying wedang ronde, the Javanese name for tangyuan 汤圆, a kind of cocktail consisted of glutinous rice balls in sweet gingery warm water. The wedang ronde is usually served in a ceramic bowl.

At 22:30 we left the venue for home. At 23:00 we arrived at home. Lanjutannya...
